Home Ware Wishlist

Hello!!

So I thought I would do a Home Ware wish list as you would know if you read about my how I bought my first home post which you can read here  that I have recently moved into my first home and in the process of making it a home rather than a house. There is so many items I am lusting over. Its strange as I would much rather buy loads of home ware stuff rather than clothes, I am not the only one surely?!

1. I am lusting over bright colour cushions at the moment which is odd for me, specially when the majority of my house is grey at the moment. 

2.These storage boxes looks so cute and handy so just have somewhere to put all the stuff that just lies on my floor for yearrrrsss.

3.I thought this picture looked lovely, and its of New York.

4. I don't know why I love this Lantern so much as it isn't really my style but I think it looks lovely and adds some quirkness into my house.

5. A candle because who doesn't love candles!?

6. I'm a sucker for fake flowers as they give the look of fresh permanently.

All the items I have mentioned are a reasonable price, as I would rather be able to get a few bits for the same price you could get one expensive item. Personal preference though!! 

Do you like the items I have mentioned here? 

Lots of love,

What to pack when you only have hand luggage?!

Helloo!!

So I have just recently come back from a short trip to France and I took just hand luggage and it is SO handy just taking hand luggage.. in and out of the airport so quickly and with less room, you are less likely to over pack (which is what I do every holiday.) So I thought I would put a post together of what I packed/tips when I just had Hand Luggage. 

   

   1.  Remember you can only have liquids under 100ml and have them packed near the top so they easy to get out- i normally go to Boots/Superdrug to get travel size liquids. Or depot them also which is a cheaper way-just remember to label them!! Another tip is collect samples, you know little bottles of perfume you get in magazines  or shower gels from Hotels, keep them they come in handy!!

2. Wear your heaviest clothing, as I know some airline companies really do penalise you if you go over your limit. 

3.Check the weather forecast before leaving then you can plan what to bring (sounds stupid but so helpful!)

4.     Roll your clothes, you fit SO much more in!!

5. Risk taking another bag ie Hand Bag then you can have your passport and other documents in there, otherwise it is a pain in the bum having to go into your suitcase. However make sure there is room in your suitcase incase of not being allowed two bags.

 I bought this clear bag thing (don't know what to call it) from Amazon where I put all my liquids in.

My Aspinal Travel purse also comes in handy having everything I need in one place. 

Do you have any tips for taking just hand luggage? Do you like just being able to take hand luggage?

Lots of love,

Sleek Highlighting Palette Giveaway!!

Hello!!

So I thought I would a quick review of this product and also a giveaway as I absolutely love this product!!

It is so pigmented and such good quality. You are given four different highlighting shades and on the back of the packaging it tells you where to apply the highlight, or screw that place it where you want.

I always find adding highlighter to the face finishes any makeup look off, even if its the tinest amount of highlighter. I love the variety of shades in this product and the face they have added a cream highlighter for the brow bone.

Anyway I thought I would do a giveaway for this product.

Do you like Sleek Products? What is your favourite highlighter?

Lots of love,

My Body Shop Haul

Hello!!

So today I thought I would put together my latest haul from the body shop. I adore their products and they are so reasonably priced and normally have offers on (bonussssss).

Skin Defence SPF 50- I bought this just to put over the top of my moisturiser as I know how important it is to wear some sort of protection on your face. With living in Australia for 7 years, this was definitely stressed upon. This is priced at £16. 

Honey Bronze Drops of Sun - I love this!! If you are wanting to go out with no foundation on but you don't because you want some colour in your skin... then this is your resolution. It makes you look like you have been on holiday but without the weight gain on holiday (win win). And this is priced at £12 so you can't go wrong!

Wild Argan Oil Body Scrub- This is the definition of summer in a tub. This is fab to refresh the skin and make your skin feel so smooth. I feel like I can't get enough of Argan Oil at the moment. This is priced at £13 which for the size of the tub is very reasonable.

Baked to last Bronzer- I normally add this on top of any contour I have got going on, just to add a bit more colour to my face. (Little tip, you don't need much of this product for it to be noticeable, trust me I looked like a satsuma).

Do you like Body Shop products? Have you tried any of these products? 

Lots of Love,
